Emerging from pure limestone soils located just above Château Pavie, the 2004 Saint-Emilion offers up a classic Saint-Emilion bouquet of red and black currants, white truffle, tobacco, spring flowers, and obvious minerality. Beautifully balanced, full-bodied, and concentrated, it still has an undeniable sense of elegance and finesse, especially in its tannins. It's certainly mature and I don't see a huge upside to any additional cellaring, but it's going to continue evolving for another 15 years from cold cellars.
